The Three Mile Island Unit 1 reactor in Pennsylvania is scheduled for restart to meet surging electricity demands from AI data centers. Blue Energy Company has announced plans for a gas-to-nuclear hybrid power plant in Texas, initially using GE Vernova gas turbines before transitioning to GE Hitachi nuclear reactors. TerraPower has commenced construction on its Natrium advanced reactor at the Kemmerer site in Wyoming and broken ground on a cGMP facility for medical isotopes production. Ontario has finalized a CAD300 million cost-sharing agreement with Bruce Power for pre-development work on the 4,800 MW Bruce C nuclear station through 2030. The US Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration is initiating a study on small modular reactors for commercial shipping applications. The New South Wales Upper House has passed a bill to repeal the 1986 ban on uranium mining and nuclear energy, potentially expanding Australian uranium supply.
